Demon Bird. "That's good."
The Gaunt Old Man sighed, the worry on his face not entirely fading.
The four of them had only just formed a small group, yet Qiu Changyuan, the one with the highest cultivation, looked down on Lu Xuan's status as a Spirit Plant Master because of his own experiences. As a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator from a small sect, though Sun Yunming wished to smooth over the rift between them, his words carried little weight, which could not help but make him feel the group's prospects were bleak.
Lu Xuan, however, paid none of that any mind. He followed behind the three of them and arrived at the edge of the city.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, doesn't Black Star City have a great formation protecting its perimeter? We still need to patrol and inspect it every day?"
He transmitted his voice to the Gaunt Old Man.
"There is indeed a Sixth Grade city-protecting grand formation, jointly set up by several Core Formation True Persons from major sects."
The old man nodded.
"However, Black Star City is simply too vast. If the Array Formation were activated every day, the Spirit Stones it consumed would be an astronomical number. So the Array Formation is only fully activated at certain key positions on the city's edge, while most of the remaining areas are comparatively much weaker."

Their Spiritual Sense surged, probing the surroundings.
